Hi everyone. My question is it possible to have the ad change the case from lets say a322212 to b322212 and then buy the gold to turn the watch to a two tone?

I guess you don't want my answer as I've given it twice in your intro thread and you are still asking, but what the heck, I'll answer it again..........

No!

Breitling have your watch as a steel watch, and to them it will always be a steel watch. They will change the dial colour for you (if you pay for it and a full service - around $1,500), but they will not fundamentally change the model. They won't even do a custom model with just the hands or dial from a gold - I know, because I have asked and so have others on here.

Ok no one get irritated with me but let me ask. This watch has an aftermarket brushed finish. It has been discussed as far as likeability in a thread by bnewbie but it's now up for sale on ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BREITLING-CHRONOM ... 7C294%3A50

I like the watch and I wouldn't mind having it.
The question is, when it goes back to Breitling for servicing are they going to re-polish it?

Historically the answer would have been yes, but recently Breitling have taken a more pragmatic approach - there was a member on here who polished a skyracer and Breitling actually professionally brushed it for him during servicing.

I would certainly make sure that you flagged to Breitling that it should stay brushed, but recent evidence suggests that they don't have a problem with brushing out polished finishes.
